Amazon.com Product Description Amazon.com Product Description Now you can go from North America to Europe without loading any moremaps with the Garmin's transatlantic nüvi 670 Personal Travel Assistant. This pocket-sized personal travel assistant comes with built-in street maps for both continents, making traveling abroad as easy as getting off the plane. The nüvi 670 is loaded with convenience features such as a travel kit and hands-free calling, on top of which it provides you with even more maps and an integrated traffic receiver.
Despite being loaded with features, the nüvi 670 still allows you to navigate with ease. This unit comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded NavTeq City Navigator NT street maps for both North America and Europe, and includes a hefty points of interest (POIs) database with hotels, restaurants, fuel stops, ATMs and more. Simply touch the super-bright, sunlight-readable color screen to enter a destination, and the 670 takes you there with either 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. This navigator voice even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road, and can concentrate on your driving to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. In addition, the 670 accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras, and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs that require your special consideration such as speed zones and safety cameras.
This sleek multi-tasking Personal Travel Assistant features a colorful widescreen, hands-free calling, and an FM transmitter.
The nüvi 670 includes many must have entertainment and travel tools.
The nüvi 670 features a 4.3-inch display with a touchscreen interface that makes it easy to select destinations, play MP3s, and more.
Speaking of keeping you safe, the nüvi 670 lets you make hands-free calls so you can talk freely during your worry-free driving. By integrating Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker, you can pair your nüvi with any compatible Bluetooth phone and talk hands-free while staying focused on the road. You no longer have to fumble with your phone's handset to answer a call or dial a number, just tap the 670's screen and you're instantly connected. And with 1-touch dialing for your POIs, you can quickly and conveniently call ahead to make reservations or get needed information.
You can also avoid tie-ups and steer clear of traffic with the nüvi 670's integrated FM TMC traffic receiver. This unit allows you to receive alerts about road construction and traffic problems that lie ahead on your route. Simply touch the nüvi's screen to view traffic details or change your route so you can detour around the problem area. All of which can be customized with configurable vehicle icons that let you choose individual car-shaped icons in a variety of colors that show your position on the map. As an added benefit, the nüvi 670 has an FM transmitter as well, which allows you to hear its voice prompts, or your music or audio books through your car's stereo for a fuller, richer sound.
In additional to all this functionality, the nüvi 670 includes many must-have entertainment and travel tools such as an MP3 player, an audio book player (subscription to Audible.com required), and a JPEG picture viewer so you can take your favorite music and pictures with you wherever you go. This unit also features a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator so that wherever you travel it will be easy to know what you are getting and keep track of your costs. The MP3 player lets you browse music by artist, album, and/or song, while the optional audio books may be purchased from Audible.com which features over 70,000 hours of audio programs. What's more, the nüvi 670 allows further customization via optional software such as travel guide, savings programs and language translation on plug-and-play SD cards for all your travel needs.
The Garmin nüvi 670 comes with a built-in, high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, and lets you view and operate it via its bright, LCD TFT touch-screen, wide-screen display that measures 4.3 inches (diagonal) and has a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels with 64,000 colors and a white backlight. As a whole, the nüvi 670 measures 4.9 x 2.9 x 0.9 inches (W x H x D), and weighs only 6.2 ounces for easy portability. This unit provides you with from three to seven hours of battery life (depending on use) via its rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and comes with Garmin Lock, which is an anti-theft feature to protect your investment. While you can add software via the SD card slot, the Garmin nüvi 670 also lets you interface via high-speed USB for loading data, though users should note that, like most USB mass storage devices, this unit is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.

Awful product - screen has lost touch ability after 10 uses!June 5, 2010 D. Vaughan(Brooklyn, NY) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
We paid $470 for this product just over two years ago. We don't have a car so have used it perhaps 3 times a year when on vacation in the US or Europe. On a recent road trip we discovered that only the bottom right of the screen now acknowledges you touching it and the only function it has is to lock or unlock the screen. Seemed great when we got it but we would have expected it to last longer.
great little GPS unitOctober 10, 2009 eMCee(Chicago, IL USA) Bought this as a backup/replacement unit for an older Magellan Roadmate unit. Have used it extensively in US, Canada, and a long driving trip through most of Spain.
General features are OK. Was familiar with lower-range Garmin models that AVIS rents with their cars.
Setup and base configuration were easy.
Main "quirks" found so far:
- sometimes has phantom exit/entry while on highway - inexpicably asks you to exit then re-enter.. one learns to avoid these after awhile
- hard to specify routing options (quickest time, shortest distance, avoid highway, etc). these are buried deep in the menus
PRO: good value (got it on sale), easy-to-use, compact size
CONS: phantom errors, route customization not simple
Easy to useSeptember 30, 2009 T. W. Robinson(Baltimore, MD) Easy to use from first moment. It recalculates quickly when we change our route or make an error. When we were on a tiny unknown road in Canada it did not recognize, it still showed surrounding roads which helped us find our way.
On a recent trip to Croatia, it did not know a freeway built a year or 2 ago, but helped us in some tight spots on other occasions.
I did not bother mounting it. It worked fine on the passenger's lap.
Worked great in EuropeAugust 16, 2009 Joseph A Maynard(Morristown, NJ USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just returned from a two week trip to Europe where I used the Nuvi 670 to drive through Belgium, Holland and Poland. It worked perfectly taking us from the country-sides of Belgium and Holland to our hotels in the narrow, one-way, unpronounceable streets of Brussels and Amsterdam. I can't imagine trying to do this with a map. Certainly, my wife and I wouldn't be on speaking terms if we had. Based on a lot of the reviews here, I am not sure that I would have bought one. I am never certain whether the Garmin units they bought were defective or whether the users are defective. I wouldn't hesitate, based on my own experience, to buy and use a Garmin device for travel in Europe.
My only criticisms of Garmin are that I think it is ridiculous that they don't offer free updates to BOTH the North American and European maps on the x70 units that come with dual maps. I also think Garmin GPS units have been overly "dumbed-down" since I bought my first Garmin several years ago. I used to be able to get elevation, the ability to pan out and see the entire route on one screen and many other features. Maybe you still can, but since they don't provide a detailed manual, who would know?
Disappointing Customer ServiceJuly 5, 2009 S. Laband(Goleta, CA USA) My nuvi 670 died shortly after the warranty expired. It cost $250 to repair, and the repair process took 5 weeks. The customer service reps I spoke to during the repair interval were unhelpful with status. The repaired nuvi just showed up with no notice at the end of week 5. The 'repair' turned out to be a 'replacement with a refurbished unit' so it's not clear what was so time-consuming about that process.
